[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 108553, member: 16552"] [b]Ouch!![/b] re: 'support' of a con-rod with a block of wood? How does that NOT just become a fulcrum? Force will still be exerted on the bottom bearing if you're banging on the top! Sure...it probably works most of the time...but why tempt fate? Use a c-clamp. Use a larger socket on the 'out' side..a smaller one to push with. That way there is NO pressure on the lower bearing. Everything goes smoothly...much less likely to have things 'sproinging' someplace. This is all assuming there is SOME force required..that the pin does NOT push out with your fingers. Putting rags over the crankcase opening is a MUST! The one time you don't is the one time you'll drop some junk into it. As far as 'wet' and 'dry' assembly...there's a good deal of difference of opinion as to which is best on a plated cylinder. 'Wet' (using 2-stroke oil) seems better to me. No 'facts' to back that up. Well, except that the svc manual SAYS so. Circlips commonly have a radiused edge and a flat edge. If yours do, put the FLAT edge to the outside. You'd do better with spirolocks. They are NEVER going to fall out! Besides, they are SO much fun to get OUT! [/QUOTE]
